OT : Selling on ebay is insulting!
The auction on my 964 ends today - in 3 hours. Several people watching it, but no bids so far.
But since it's the last day it seems the vultures are closing in. I've put it on at £12,995 (no reserve) - which in my opinion is a serious bargain for a RHD 964 - even a white one. I've had one message asking if I'll sell it for £11K - and once saying they've noticed it's the second time it's been for sale with no bidders so will I take an offer (I ended the auction half way though last time because I decided it made more sense to buy a car for my g/f before selling my second car).
I know that this is how these things work - but I really did feel a bit insulted! It's a good car and is about £2K less than I think it's worth - I'll chuck it off a cliff before I sell it to someone for £11K!
Happily, I don't actually need to sell it so if the worse comes to the worse it will simply go on again - and if I need to wait until spring I'll put the price up!

Looks like you got a bidder, I hoep this helps with making the others come out of the woodwork for you.
£13k is a cheap car, and I'm quite getting to like the white ones!
Keep us posted if the buyer comes through for you, I'm interested to hear how the final deal goes down when teh byer turns up etc
Fingers crossed for you Dave

JohnO,..
What actually happens next, do we just continue to re-fresh, watch and hope that Dave sells at a good fair price? When does the fighting begin, or have I played too many "FPS" PC games ... Maybe Im expecting too much... This is my First Time...
Does this eBay selling often come up at RN.com... Really good forum!!..
